·Dark reddish-purple color. Appealing mix of aromas of black cherries,
herbs and a slip of oak. Loamy black cherry and blackberry coulis which is
focused and polished. The tannins are suave, the texture is smooth and there
is an edginess to the dry and lingering finish. Plenty of Pinot singing here. This
wine reminded me of a 2005 Esmonin Hospices de Beaune Mazis Chambertin
I drank the night before. The Clos Pepe was every bit as good.Reviewed May 7, 2009
